    The Nordic Walking has been extremely beneficial to my rehabilitation following on from my
    above knee amputation. It has helped improve my core strength and just as importantly my
    confidence. I think that one of the opinions of the staff at the Bristol Centre for Enablement
    was that I didn’t have enough confidence in myself regarding walking in different
    environments.This has improved significantly over the time I have been walking with Emma. I
    have a tendancy to use crutches as I feel more secure with them, but Emma has given me the
    confidence to use poles at the times where & when I feel comfortable with the environment.
    Over this time, Emma has been a great help & given so much encouragement and for that I
    am extremely grateful.

    I am determined — at last — after 40 years of just TALKING about it —to WORK at improving my health and fitness. Best Wishes, A
